CHrcAeo, ILL, November l3.-Ths funeral of the Chicago Anarchists has taken place, and the apprehension which was felt throughout the coun- try that the burial might be attended by some new outbreak has happily been unfounded. We may regard the whole episode as closed, and turn for ward to the task Of preventing any thing like :ts recurrence. 1.-the supply of pauperism and anarchy is stopped anarchy itself will die natural death, and the place to stop their supply is at it's fountain head in Castle Garden.
 Though fully 100000 people lined the street from the viaduct to Bryson street there was no outbreak, not even around the four points where the bodies were lying in state, of men whom a majority of all the gapers considered martyrs. But he who could understand the lead ing yernacular, the German, had am pie opportunity to observe that terrible feeling of revenge slumbered beneath the silent and sullen surface.
 Around Aurora Turner Hall surged a crowd which numbered thousands. It filled Huron street from curb to curb, and blocked the street-car tracks of Milwaukee avenue. It had been said that the remains Of August Spies would lie in state here until the hour of the great funeral eortege, and 1t would havo been thus displayed had not the authorities interdicted it. To both sides Of the entrance were posted a board placard bearing in clumsily written characters the inscription: August Spies will not be exhibited" and on another the German or 1t: August Spies Is nieht in der halie."

But one night he banded 10 Satan a violin, on which Dabolus played such sweet music that the composer was awakened by the emotion and tried to reproduce the sounds and therefrom was written Tartini's most famous piece, entitled the Devils sonata,n \ dream ingenious but faulty, for all melody descends from heyen and only dlscords ascend from hell All hatreds, feuds controversies, bsckbitings and reyenges are the devils sonata, are diaboic fugue, are demouac phantasy, are grand march of doom, are al- legro of perdltion.

The Doom of the Anarchists

There should be no unseemly exul-
tation over the opinion of the United
States supreme court which, as far
as can be foreseen, seals the fate of
the seven anarchists. but the decision
will be regarded by honest men
everywhere as an eminently righte-
Gus one. There has rarely been
crime which so entirely forbade pity
for those who were guilty of it as
the brutal murder of the brave Chi
cago policemen who were only doing
their duty in maintaining the public
peace. 1t was a mistaken philan-
thropy which would ask for mercy
for the condemned men as ignorant
and helpless strangers in a foreign
land. They had fed from their
homes to a country which in too free
hearted charity has kept its gates
wide open to the vicious and the
worthless as well as the peaceable
and industrious immigrant, and be-
cause they found that America,
though land of liberty, was not a
land of license, they straightway set
themselves to work to plot its over
throw. Their offence is not the less
but the more grevious because of
their alien origin. The seven con-
spirators have had a fair and impair
tial trial in a city where the arm of
justice is weak and nerveless as it
well can be and yet preserve the
sembIance of law and order If there
were a loophole by which they might
escape, the local courts would not
have failed to find it. The very
laws which it is the Anarchistic creed
TO scott at and trample were strained
to shield them from a righteous ven
geance, but in VAIN. Now the JUS
tice of their condemnation has been
affirmed by the supreme authority of
the republic which they assailed.
There may have been unwise regrets
that punishment was SO long DELAYED,
but the tedious processes of the
courts have left no room to doubt
the temper of our people and the po-
tency of our legal safeguards against
such perils as the Anarchism threat
ems. The continent is broad but it
has no room for both patriots and
bomb throwers. One party or the
other will have to 90, and happily in
this instance might and right are
one.-JourHdi.

There never was a time when men and
women needed more to know what their
convictions are, then be sure they are
ready for the test. Sometimes the call
comes to labor in some portion of the
vineyard where cultivation has been a
thing unknown. This requires decision,
courage and obedience to duty, which can
be nothing less than true discipleship.

New England a Good Place to
Stay In.

Mr.. Joseph B. Walker, a leading
New England agriculturist, in an ar
ticle in the 'NeaC EngIander and
Yale ReUieac,' has something to say
on the causes of the depopulation of
New England villages, and on the
coming turn in the tide of emigration.
He says that many a farmer who
went West to grow up with the coun-
try, and borrowed money to improve
his piece of prairie, has found it a
difficult matter to lift his mortgage,
and III many cases has found his fer
tile western farm really less TemuneT-
ative than the rocky, rugged one
which he deserted. In the meantime
those who have remained have been
finding, especially within the last few
wears, that it is possible to make
farming in New England q better
business than was dreamed to be pos
SIDE wien GlG NSSUeIl lev CT SCI III.
Various improvements, too, have
helped to check the movement west
ward. These are two kinds: First,
the spread of a better intelligence by
means of modern agricultural col
leges, state boards of agriculture,
farmers organizations and agricultur-
al fairs and second, the invention
and use of the great labor-saving ma
chimes, by means of which the farm
ers of to-day is able to get much
more out of his land, and at less eX-
pense, than used to be the case. Mr..
Walker gives statistics which go to
show that of late years the depOpula-
ton of the rural portions of New Eng
land has been checked and that farms
are in many places advancing in price.
All of this is very encouraging and it
will not be at all surprising if the as
sertion that New England is a good
| place to emigrate from, will give
place to the adage that New England

Death of Jenny Lind.

A flood of pleasant and tender rec
objections is awakened in thousands
of American minds bv the announce
ment made on Thursday of the death
in London on the day previous OF
Madame Jenny Lind GOldschmidt,
the ''Swedish nightingale To the
Younger generatsons of to-day this
great singer was only a woman. but
to older men and women the thought
of her recalled the greatest wave of
enthusiasm of its kind which ever
swept over this country. She was
born in Stockholm in 1921 Her par
ents were very poor. Her phenome-
nal voice first attracted the attention
of a retired actress, who put her I'M
der suitable teachers at nine years of
age At 16 she first sang in public,
and her musical training was COM
pleted at Paris in 1841-43. She made
her debut in London in 1917, when
fabulous prices were paid for tickets
and the excitement pervaded all
CLASSES.
Her American tour in 1S50-52 was
made under the management of p.
I. Barnum, who made a contract to
take her through America, the Brit
ish provinces, Mexico and the West
Indies. The tour was prematurely
arrested, however, by her marriage
and retirement in 1851. The re-
ceipts of this tour, as far as it was
made, amounted to 100000, of
which Nine. Goldschmidt received
1902, 900.
Upon her return to Europe with
Herr Goldschmidt, she lived quietly
in Dresden a number of years, dur
ing which time she visited Stockholm
repeatedly and spent over 100000 in
founding schools and endowing char
liable institutions. Between 1860
and 1864 Nine. Goldschmidt sang in
concert on one or two occasions, but
since then has not been heard in pub
lie. After her husbands death she
retired to a quiet home in London,
where she lived up to the time of
her death, which was caused by an
attack of apoplexy.

this | think he is wise. If therannb-
lican party and the majority Of the
American people desire Mr.. Blaine
for president, it must be accomplish
ed by spontaneous movement of
the party making his election one Of
practical unanimity, and one which
would be ratified by the people at
the polls. ] am not here Speaking
for Mr.. Blaine or by his direction,
but am simply telling YOU of his feel
ings, and what have just said about
the action of the party and the peo-
pie is only the expression of my own
sentiment npon the subject. Whether
Mr.. Blaine desires or not to under
take the burdens of another canvass
for the presidential office, the deep
underlying feeling with the masses
of the party is what in the end will
control the matter. "-BOstOn JournDl.

Mr.. Blaine.

Senator Eugene Hale of Maine,
who arrived in New York from
France on the French Line on Mon
day, is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
He has made flying trip to Wash
ington since his arrival, and was be-
ginning to pack up his trunks for an
other flight to-day when he was ask
ed when he last saw Mr.. Blaine.
81 met him and his party several
times during the summer, and babe
them good-by in Paris the day |
left for America. Mr.. Blaine was
never in better health and spirits than
at present. He looks well, he feels
well and he is well"
"When will he return"
''He will not return until midsum-
mer. He never had any intention of
doing otherwise"
''Does he intend to make another
race for the presidency"
"a good deal of talk has been
made about this, as is natural. 1t is
difficult to make people understand
and believe that man who has once
come near the presidency is not filed
to overlooking with the desire for that
great place. If | say anything about
this in connection with Mr.. Blaine it
is better to tell you the exact truth in
the matter. Mr.. Blaine does not de-
sire another nomination. He has had
his share of presidential battles and
shrinNs from going through another
where he will be the candidate. /
am entirely sure he would much pre-
fer part in the next campaign in adj
yocacy OF the election OF some other
leading republican. He does not de-
sire or expect his friends to make an
other contest in the convention. In

Senator Sherman and the Bloody
Shirt.

The republican and democratic par
ties are not to be tested by what they
have done, but what they will do.
And it is by these tests the republic
an party is always willing to be tried.
1t is not afraid of its past, for that
includes the most successful and hon
Orable achievements in peace or in
war that it has been the good fortune
of any party to accomplish. What
man among our democratic friends
would dare compare the acts, sayings
and doings of the democratic party,
its northern and southern wings, for
the last thirty years, with the acts,
sayings and doings of the republican
party? 1t is from such a comparison
they instinctively shrink. 1t was for
making that comparison at Spring
field, Illinois, the home of Abraham
Lincoln, that | was arraigned by our
democratic friends North and South
for waving the bloody shirt 1t was
a blood shirt. 1t is shameless rec
ord. The fight for slavery, the re-
bellion and its fearful losses, the
course of the copperheads in the
North, the riots in New York City,
the Knights of the Golden Circle in
Indiana, the fearful crimes of the
Ku-Klux Klans, the cheating of Gen
eral Grant out of the vote of New
York in 1868, the Mississippi plan
for the Solid South, 1000, 900 of Ie-
gal voters deprived of their franchise
wherever their votes would count. the
election of Cleveland-itw was a bloody
shirt. But did any man answer this
arraignment? Did | state one single
thing as a fact that was not true?
But some say let by-gones be by
cones. SO be it. Certain tender
feet are afraid might hurt some ones
feelings; that we should Danish this
word ''rebeF' from our vocabulary
that we should take the new South
with republicans, white and black,
counted out, and say nothing. We
must become accustomed to the res
tOratiOn of the old regime as Crom-
wells Roundheads became accustom-
ed to the court of King Charles. We
must surrender our captured flags to
the rebels who bore them. Our Grand
Army boys, now bent and gray, must
march under the new flag, under the
flag of Grover Cleveland, or not hold
their camp-fres in St. Louis. This
is the new gospel of democracy and
Mugwumpism. = Wilmington Speech.
